Buddha head statue hand-carved out of Kadam wood

Buddha head statue measures 8 inches tall and 4 inches wide

Made in India

Buddha head statue is hand carved out of wood and measures 8 inches tall and 4 inches wide. The Buddha is often depicted with long ears. There is a symbolic significance to the Buddha's elongated earlobes. In Eastern cultures, large ears are associated with wisdom and revered by others (think Lord Ganesha and in more modern times, Mahatma Gandhi). These are ears that are big enough to listen to all our tales of suffering. Magnanimity and compassion therefore are also qualities linked to such physical features and the Buddha was certainly the embodiment of these virtues.
